The history of breeding<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\t

We live in a world with a climate crisis and declining biodiversity, and at the same time there will be many more mouths to feed. In the coming years, more food must be produced if many people are not to go hungry.<\/p>\n

Does plant breeding have a role to play in solving some of the upcoming challenges we face? And if so, how big a role can and should it play \u2013 now, and in the future?<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In Denmark, we became farmers 6,000 years ago, and ever since, our ancestors have worked with and selected the best grains and plants. <\/span><\/p>\n

But in the last 150 years, things have really moved forward. We may not think about it every day when we drive through the Danish landscape with large cultivated fields almost everywhere, but modern breeding and cultivation methods have increased yields and security of supply \u2013 and have thus become essential tools in the fight against hunger. <\/span><\/p>\n

But how did we actually get here \u2013 and how big a role can and should plant breeding play now and in the future?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

Experience the exhibition Guldkorn - the story of Plant Breeding at the Green Museum, Gl. Estrup<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

That's one of the questions posed by The Green Museum's new exhibition Guldkorn. And the answers - you'll be given the tools to delve into them yourself.<\/p>\n

In the exhibition, you follow the cultural-historical story of the first grains of the Stone Age, the important beer, agricultural forms, wood processing, mechanization, the arrival of chemistry, large-scale agriculture and ecology. And between the museum objects, animated cornfields grow up around the visitors, while the experts in digital form take the visitors by the hand and guide them through high-flying theories, laws of inheritance and facts.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
